excellent illustrated story, elp~

looks like you'll have quite an
extension to your sailing territory.

interesting that the buildings were
just left in place when it was flooded.
were many buildings flooded over?

just curious as, when the St. Lawrence Seaway
went in up here (back in the 1940-50s),
they did the same thing -- just flooded over everything,
although many people moved their houses to higher ground.
my mom's family had to abandon their place as it was
a 200 year old stone house, so it got covered over.
some of the more historic places were moved
to one site and a "pioneer village" was established
as a living museum.
the flooding also created many islands and the
old highways along the shore are cut up in many places.

anyhow, interesting story and photos from
the memorial day weekend.
looks like it was much fun too.

ours was another weekend of hiking...
chalked up quite a few more miles
on my beat-up old pair of canvas running shoes.
